VXY8VYNW This is a history of England from Ancient England and the Romans through the reign of King James II. One chapter is devoted to each monarch. There weren't too many places where it seemed to be aimed at children, but I suppose children in Dickens' time had better attention spans than they do now. It was a bit dry at times, but as in all of Dickens' books, you can find humor if you're paying attention. Even though my copy was 500 pages, I also think a lot of my problem with the book was that it's just impossible to do justice to such a massive subject in so few pages. Much as I like Dickens, I only read this because it was included in a box of his books that I was given. I don't recommend it because I'm sure there are plenty of better books on the subject.

This three-volume history of England from before the Roman conquest through to the Glorious Revolution of 1688 was originally serialised in Charles Dickens' magazine Household Words between 1851 and 1853. The text was published in book form in the same period, although each volume was post-dated to the following year. Dickens dedicated the work to his own children, intending it to be a stepping stone to more substantial histories. The volumes were popular with readers for decades, and were used in British schools well into the twentieth century. Dickens employs his signature style to bring events and personalities to life, making use of vivid similes, unabashedly partisan language and direct speech, as well as the occasional moral lesson. Volume 1 covers the period from the campaigns of Julius Caesar up to the close of the reign of the 'miserable brute' King John. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
